Comic Incoming!

With so many Comic-Cons in the last couple of months, there’s no doubt been some amazing announcements. DC and Marvel have both been doing the writer/artist shuffle, promoted their giant crossover storylines and various other hugely amazing news.

This week alone, there have been two that make me ridiculously excited and I want everyone to know about them!

What Up, Hawkeye!

The first being that Matt Fraction and David Aja, who previously worked on The Immortal Iron Fist will be teaming up again to work on a brand new Hawkeye series. It will debut in August and has Clint Barton teaming up with Young Avengers fan-favorite, Kate Bishop. The pair will be fighting organized crime in New York City.

Fraction spoke about the two sharpshooters in more detail, stating that each of them have bumps and bruises and because of that, they fit well together. He also states that each of them makes up for what the other is lacking; Kate being young, cultured, headstrong and incredibly gifted who won’t suffer Barton’s crap and follows him, not because of what he can do, but because of what he has achieved.

Rock On!

Boom! Studios has also announced that there will be a spin off comic series from the already immensely popular Adventure Time comic, which has already gone through multiple printings. Adventure Time: Marceline and the Scream Queens will be released in July and will be a mini-series centered around the fanged bass wielding bad ass.

Written and drawn by Octopus Pie‘s Meredith Gran, the book will follow the band, who is now joined by Princess Bubblegum, on a tour across the land of Ooo! What will the devilish dame and pink lady have to face off against? Apparently threats will include scenesters and beasts born of their own self-doubt. Variant covers will be done by Chynna Clugston, Lucy Knisley, Ming Doyle and Colleen Coover.
